DYB -RR/Victorian Ladies, Cmy work on Connie's block

My first CQ work of 2013 started with a lovely job.  I started to work on Connie's lovely block, DYB-RR/Victorian Ladies. She is going to make a big circular quilt with wonderful six pieces of blocks, I chose one of them and started to embellish. The rest of the other blocks have turquoise colors like this one I've worked. 

 This close-up photo shows details of my work, 

I 'm glad that I had so neat color of silk ribbons and beads in my stash. This seam treatment with beaded frills looked so pretty, I hope Connie also likes what I've done. I did almost same kind of application at a previous RR block however I wanted to apply same work here on the dark part of the block. The outcome is nice for me, do you agree with me??? I used various bugles, sead beads, pearls and some Swarovski crystals....

This is another photo shows whole block and shows little hat that I crocheted. It is one of the smallest hat I've crocheted, I thought a standard one should be really big on the block, so this tiny mini one is big enough on the block.

I like to use chain stitches to define assembly lines and I usually prefer metallic threads such as Kreinik or Gutterman brands. One of my favorite varigeated Gutterman thread did great job on the turquoise patch (at left side of the block).  Tulip form little charm was waiting to be used for a long time, it found its place now...

Some buddies do not like sequins but I love to use them if I have neat colors.  

So, I completed my work on Connie's block, its on its long way to Lisa. We  almost came to end of the RR, I'm waiting last block from Hideko.  Happy stitching to you all......
